Automatic simple 12V 100mA NiCd Battery Charger circuit

Today we are going to learn how to make a very cheap NiCd battery charger with overvoltage protection or control circuit. This circuit is very much simple and specifically designed for 12V NiCd battery. The charger have current and voltage control at the same time.

Its charging current is around 100mA but we can change it using the formula : (Vd1 - 0.7) / R2 ; where Vd1 is voltage of zener diode D1.

Its Cutoff voltage is limited to Vd2 - 0.7 ; where Vd2 is voltage of zener diode D2
